Minutes:
The Panel considered a report presenting the findings of the Green Belt Review 2015, which sought approval to use the outcome as part of the evidence base to inform and support the preparation of the District Plan.
John Baker, of Peter Brett Associates, gave a presentation on the Review, explaining the purpose, methodology and findings. He explained the assessment of parcels and sub-parcels which had resulted in four locations as having least importance to the fulfilment of Green Belt purposes and as such, had been identified as “Potential Areas of Search” for development locations. Two further parcels were identified as having moderate suitability and had been identified as “Potential longer-term Areas of Search”. These locations were detailed in the report now submitted.
In response to Members’ comments and questions, Mr Baker stated that consideration of any extensions to the Green Belt were not part of the brief of the Review. He clarified the objectivity of the methodology used, especially in relation to the “green wedges” in Bishop’s Stortford and the role of bypasses in defining Green Belt boundaries.
Officers also reminded Members of the progress of the Strategic Land Availability Assessment (SLAA).
The Panel supported the recommendation now detailed.
RECOMMENDED – that the Green Belt Review 2015 be approved as part of the evidence base to inform and support preparation of the East Herts District Plan.
